In the early morning, Qi Jingzhi, who had not slept all night, gently opened the door of his courtyard. His shoes were still stained with grass blades and his trousers had already been wet with dew.
The old yellow dog was lying next to the door and taking a nap as usual. He didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. Instead, he covered the big bone in front of him that had been chewed up even more tightly.
A bonfire in the courtyard has been extinguished, and not only the aroma of barbecue remains in the air, but also an extremely rich fragrance of mountain fruits.
The young man looked around again and saw a large pile of fruit cores gathered in the corner of the wall. Many of the fruit pulps were not completely eaten and were covered with messy bite marks, making it look like a mess.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Jiao Yulang jumped out of the kitchen and shouted excitedly: "Brother is finally back! Senior Mandrill sent many monkeys and grandchildren, and took advantage of the fact that no one was around in the middle of the night to bring the remaining tiger meat and bones. He also brought a lot of fruits with him. He ate half and left the other half. He chattered and made a fuss until dawn before leaving."
Qi Jingzhi imagined the scene of Jiao Yulang leading a group of monkeys to eat fruit, and immediately said angrily: "It's not that you haven't eaten enough, so you shamelessly begged senior to find a way!"
As he spoke, he walked into the kitchen and saw old man Qi cutting up tiger meat with a knife. He couldn't help but feel worried: "Master, have you been up all night?"
Old Man Qi was busy working without even raising his head and said cheerfully: "Jiao Wazi said that eating tiger meat can greatly replenish blood and vitality, and drinking tiger bone wine can strengthen the muscles and bones, strengthen the waist and kidneys, and dispel wind and cold, which is of great benefit to martial arts. This is still an ordinary tiger, ours has become a spirit, so it is even more valuable, and it can be used to lay the foundation for you."
"Don't tell me, grandpa, I just ate a piece of barbecue. It's like a stove was lit in my stomach. It's so warm that my whole body is full of strength!"
Qi Jingzhi took a closer look and felt relieved when he saw that his grandpa's face was rosy and energetic, and that the original illness and fatigue caused by the cane had disappeared.
Jiao Yulang followed in. Seeing the smile on Qi's brother's eyebrows, he whispered proudly: "My uncle only said that you were practicing martial arts, so I followed suit and never let anything slip!"
Qi Jingzhi nodded silently, led Jiao Yulang out of the kitchen, and returned to his room.
He closed the door, looked at Jiao Yulang solemnly, and suddenly bowed.
The little boy was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, what are you doing? Just say what you want!"
Qi Jingzhi's tone was extremely solemn: "I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, I accidentally got a fragmentary scripture. Although it doesn't even have the complete skills for Zhuangming Realm, it is a real cultivation scripture. Although you are young, , but his knowledge is vast, I would like to ask you where this incomplete scripture comes from, is there any way to complete it, and what are the consequences if I learn it without permission?"
Qi Jingzhi has been keeping these questions in his mind for a long time. Master Meng is not good at spiritual practice, and he has made it clear that he does not want to inquire and interfere. Yu Laochenghuang may know it, but it is easy to involve Lu Yunzi's affairs, and the consequences are really unpredictable. On the contrary, he can talk to Jiao Yulang If you are not familiar with it, please give me some advice.
Hearing this, Jiao Yulang's expression also became solemn, and he said without blinking an eye: "The monk's scripture is the foundation of enlightenment. You and I have just met. Brother, have you thought clearly? Do you really want to tell me?"
Qi Jingzhi smiled casually: "Senior Mandrill and my grandpa both like you, and I trust you. What's more, it's just a broken scripture. I use it as a walking stick for climbing. I use it when it suits me, and I trim it when I don't get it. , or just change it. As for the foundation of enlightenment, shouldn’t it be myself?”
Jiao Yulang was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that after just one night of seeing him, the Qi family brother's demeanor had changed significantly. He became more determined and high-spirited, as if he had a heroic spirit that looked down on everything from the inside out.
The little boy held it in for a long time before he nodded and said: "Brother, please tell me the name of Canjing. If I know it, I should tell you everything."
Qi Jingzhi did not hesitate and immediately said the name of "Immortal Feather Sutra" together with part of its general outline.
""Immortal Feather Sutra"?"
Jiao Yulang's expression immediately became weird: "This sutra actually exists in this world? When I was a child, I heard the elders in my family mention it and just listened to it as a story."
He frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment before saying: "The general idea is that hundreds of years ago, there was an immortal named Feng who transformed into a farmer and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Daqi. One day, when it rained heavily and the road was muddy, a neighbor's boy I came to ask him to borrow straw sandals, but the immortal refused to lend them, saying that I could borrow other people's straw sandals, but not his."
"These straw sandals are very cheap and common. The boy next door felt that he was being slighted, so he immediately said something bad to him. The immortal was also annoyed. He said that he wanted to make you his disciple, but he didn't want to be so naughty, so he went to Xianyu Mountain to make a recommendation. The cloud chariot and the crane holding the peach blossom will serve you well."
"After the immortal said this, he threw his straw sandals on the boy next door. The boy turned into a crane on the spot! Then the immortal stepped on the back of the crane, and one person and one crane flew away."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's expression became strange.
If the children in Shanqian Village are disobedient, the elders will scare them with the wolf woman in the mountains who has a baby in her mouth. This story is similar to Jiao Yulang's. At most, the latter is more elegant. Most of them were told to Jiao Yulang by his elders when he was put to sleep. Listen.
Jiao Yulang also seemed to feel embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "This story is a bit unreliable, but in Daqi, straw sandals do have two aliases: 'Bu Borrow' and 'Crane Lu'."
"It is said that there is a continuation of this story. Someone found a book of unknown exercises from the thatched cottage where the immortal named Feng lived in seclusion. Because the immortal once mentioned Xianyu Mountain, the exercise got its name. It is said that many people in the world rushed to fight for it. , there were even practitioners involved, and it really caused a bloody storm."
"Now hundreds of years have passed, except for the story itself, there is no trace left. At least I have not heard of the sects and great powers based on the "Immortal Feather Sutra". The so-called Immortal Feather Mountain is even more There is no trace at all, even if it does exist, I’m afraid it’s not within the borders of Daqi.”
"The technique my brother obtained may be real, or it may be a name that future generations will pick up on. The advantage is that it should not cause too much trouble, but the disadvantage is that it may not be able to complete it, and there is no teacher to rely on."
Qi Jingzhi nodded and said with a smile: "So it's a mixed bag of good and bad? It's not the worst situation at least. At least there won't be any high-ranking sect who will be angry with me for secretly learning the skills and want to eradicate me."
When Jiao Yulang saw that his elder brother Qi's face did not look depressed, he felt relieved and said comfortingly: "As my elder brother said, the monks themselves are the foundation, and there are also unparalleled powers among casual cultivators."
His words were obviously words of comfort, but Qi Jingzhi seemed to take them seriously, nodding and saying: "There is no place to complete it, so I will complete it myself. It's just that I'm new to cultivation and have little knowledge. I don't have this ability yet. I'll finish it in a few days." Go to the Demon Commander's place in the county town and learn some exercises to broaden your horizons."
Jiao Yulang was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the brother of the Qi family was so ambitious, or should I say, too arrogant?
"Xianyu Mountain... Crane Shoes... Pushing the Cloud Mountain and holding peach blossoms? It's really interesting!"
Qi Jingzhi ignored the little boy's complicated expression and muttered to himself, obviously distracted.
The scriptures of "Immortal Feather Sutra" flowed through his mind. This technique is just a fragment. The third step of the Zhuangming Realm is dedicated to Qi Zhirou. Apart from the Wing Washing Strength that is practiced outward, there are only two lonely pieces left. sentence.
"The heart shakes like a dancing crane, and the bones rise like a flying dragon!"
